My name is Jackie, and I grew up with Steven at Big Lake.  My grandparents were Vince and Vonnebelle Giacalone, both very close friends of Walt and Doris. I am saddened to hear the news of Steve's passing,and wish to express my sincerest sympathy to his family.

Steve Brooks Was the "Best" trail buddy anyone could have.  He always brought "every tool known to man" with him, had plenty of spare parts packed in the back of his cherokee/PackMan.  One of the best times we had was when he flat towed my 47 Willys out to Moab to go wheeling on the Easter Jeep Safari in 1997.  I always looked forward to wheeling with Steve.  I will miss you very much Steve, once youve settled in to your new place, please save me a spot around the campfire.

Truly a sad day when we have lost someone we could truly call friend.  I learned a lot from Steve in my beginning days of 4 wheeling and it was always a joy to be out on the trails with him.  Judy and family - my thoughts and prayers are with you.  PACKY - pre trip the trails up there - until we meet again.

Stevie, I'll alway's cherish the good times we shared Turkey and Deer hunting as well as the get together's we had over a few cold ones. Rest in peace my friend you are forever in our Hearts.

Fourth of July fireworks, camping with the kids, that crazy trip to Mammouth Caves and Kings Island, grabbing Jeremy when he almost got left behind. . .No better neighbor to have our kids grow up with.  We are so very sad to hear of Steve's passing.  Judy, Niki, Kelly, we will be with you in spirit as we are unable to attend Steve's service.  Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers, lovingly.

RIP Packy  you will always be the man !!!!! Bob Conant AKA Barbarian

Kelly,

I am very sorry to hear about your Father. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. I know that it's very difficult to lose a parent. My Mother passed away a month before my Daughter was born. I hope that you can find comfort from the love of your family and friends at this time. Paula Anton

Friday we lost a Very Special Man and Great Friend to the Gaston Family, Steve Brooks our "Packy". We have shared alot of fun times together rather it be Jeeping, Camping, Deer Camp with Bob & the boys, Weddings, crazy birthday & graduation parties the list could go on and on!!! and of course all of Packy's GREAT STORIES around the campfires will never be forgotten! We Loved and Respected this Wonderful Friend. He will be sadly missed by all. Holding Judy, the girls and family up in prayer for God's Comfort. Looking forward to the day when our Trails Meet up again. With Love, Prof, Ginger, Russell Stover, The Rickster and Johnny Boy.

Judy, Niki, Kelly, and families: You are in my thoughts and prayers.  I've known Steve and Judy for many years, since before their wedding, and have many fond memories of times spent together with friends, families, and neighbors. I feel so blessed that we raised our girls around the block from each other and continued our friendship into adulthood. Life circumstances separated us for the last many years, but I still consider you, Judy, a good friend. I hope that we can reconnect that friendship at some point. Jan

I knew Steve"PACKY" as a great 4wheeler and friend for many years. He will be missed but will stay in our hearts for ever. Our deepest sympathy to Judy and family. Jiri and Eva

I first met Steve in the early 1990's when we were both members of the MudChuggers  4wd Club and in the early days of Sno*Blind. Great guy, honest, kind and genuine. Always had a smile on and living life to its fullest. My wife and I truly enjoyed ever minute of his and Judy's company whenever we were on the trail together, at club meetings, etc. Our hearts go out to Judy, the girls and family.
